Abstract

A vehicle door arrangement is provided including inner and outer panels. The inner panel has a through opening, a tubular grommet which is received in the opening and snap-fittingly secured to the inner panel, and a plurality of electrical conductors extending through the grommet. The through opening in the inner panel extends inwardly from a side edge of the inner panel. The inner panel has at least one ear extending transversely into the opening adjacent the side edge. The grommet is resilient and has a groove which extends inwardly from its outer periphery and whose outwardly facing bottom is shaped substantially complementary to the opening. The ear engages the bottom of the groove and deflects the grommet as the latter is transversely inserted into the opening until the grommet is fully received in the opening and the ear is aligned with a deeper portion of the groove whereupon the grommet, due to its inherent resiliency, returns toward its normal free state position and locks behind the ear to lock the grommet to the panel.
